Who is Mary Jaksch?

I am a Zen master in the Diamond Sangha lineage founded by Robert Aitken Roshi. I started the Goodlife Zen blog because I’m passionate about helping people to find joy and ease in life.

I bring a wide life experience to this work. Apart from being a Zen master, I’m also a psychotherapist and author. My book Learn to Love is now translated into five languages. I have completed an MA in Buddhist Studies, hold a 4th Dan Blackbelt in karate, started my professional life as a flautist, and love dancing Argentine tango.

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can. (Danny Kay)
